The End Times as a Song

Chapter 516 What do you want

"You're being a bit too plain and simple... Why don't you try something else...? You might be surprised by what you find!" someone kindly suggested.

"Ah...? But I really have no interest in any of those things." Huan Rugo pouted and gently shook her head, indicating her refusal.

Just then, a loud and familiar shout came from not far away: "Candied hawthorn, candied hawthorn...! Sweet and delicious candied hawthorn...!" It turned out to be a simply dressed man carrying a load on a shoulder pole, walking and calling out as he sold his wares.

Hearing that tempting sound, Huan Rugo couldn't help but swallow hard, her eyes fixed on the man selling candied hawthorns. She pointed at him and exclaimed happily, "I like this...!"

Standing to the side, Lin Yin was clearly not expected that Huan Rugo would suddenly make such a choice. He looked at Huan Rugo in surprise and disbelief, muttering to himself, "Candied hawthorn...! It's actually candied hawthorn...!"

Huan Rugo's face instantly blossomed into a radiant smile, as beautiful and captivating as a flower blooming in spring. She nodded happily, her bright eyes filled with anticipation as she stared intently at Lin Yin, eagerly asking, "Yes, that's it! Can I buy a skewer to try?"

However, Lin Yin coldly snorted, turned his head to the side to avoid Huan Rugo's expectant gaze, and replied stiffly, "Hmph...! No, let's choose something else...!"

Huan Rugo's previously high spirits plummeted as if doused with a bucket of cold water. She stared at Lin Yin with suspicion, asking resentfully, "Ah...! Why...? Can't you even grant me such a small request?"

Huan Rugo turned away unhappily, her back to Lin Yin, and muttered to herself, "What a spoilsport. If Ayan were here, he would definitely buy it for me...?" She swallowed hard.

Huan Rugo's voice was soft, but Lin Yin still heard it. A sour smell filled the air, and he shouted, "Buy...! How much...?"

Huan Rugo happily turned around and said to her face, "Really...? That's great! Boss, I'll have two candied hawthorns...!"

Seeing Huan Rugo so happy, Lin Yin tossed a heavy coin to the candied hawthorn vendor and said, "I'll take them all...!"

The shopkeeper's face lit up with joy. He put the silver in his mouth and bit it, a happy and satisfied smile spreading across his face. He stuffed the entire candied hawthorn stall into Lin Yin's hands, then turned around and bowed deeply to Huan Rugo, saying, "Thank you, thank you, young lady, thank you, sir...!" He put the silver away and turned to leave.

Huan Rugo stepped forward without ceremony and picked two strings of candied hawthorns, smiling as she said to Lin Yin, "You're so kind, thank you...! You're just as kind as Tu Shanyan...!"

As usual, Lin Yin naturally took in all the praise, a faint smile involuntarily curving his lips. He looked gently at the person before him and asked softly, "Look, besides these, is there anything else you want...?"

Huan Rugo happily picked up a string of glistening, tempting candied hawthorns, and eagerly took a bite. The sweet and sour taste instantly filled her mouth. She ate with relish, completely disregarding her image, and mumbled between bites, "No, this is enough... thank you!"

However, Lin Yin was not giving up. His gaze quickly swept over the dazzling array of stalls and exquisite ornaments around him, and then he turned to Huan Rugo again, asking in a slightly low voice, "Is there really nothing left...? Why don't you take another look...?" At this moment, a hint of disappointment was revealed in his eyes.

Huan Rugo seemed to keenly sense the subtle change in Lin Yin's emotions, so she stopped chewing somewhat embarrassedly, forced her head up, and pretended to look around seriously. After a while, she slowly said to Lin Yin, "Alright! Then I'll look around some more. If I see anything I like, I'll definitely tell you right away...!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yin responded softly with an "Mm..." and then nodded helplessly.
